Trying to be Industrious!

Thanks to my handy dandy glass cutting tool, I'm finally able to complete some projects I've been waiting on for a long time.  Like this industrial side table...

I have a few of these, but different sizes.  I don't know if they're wheels, pulleys, some kind of molds, or what!  But they're rustic, beefy, and very industrial looking.      

I've had this guy for quite some time, so he definitely needed a bath, followed by a good rubdown with some oil... 

I had always wanted it for a table, but never had a good vision for a base...until...I picked up a swivel office chair for a couple bucks at the Goodwill.  And then it hit me..duh... 

I not only removed the seat, but also ended up cutting off some of the metal from the chair base -- I didn't want any extra showing through.... 

And I didn't really like the finish on the metal, so I gave it a coating of black spray paint.  Much better.... 

Then I attached the two together from underneath by drilling some holes in the metal and running some screws.....  

TA DA... 

And then, using my new love, I mean my new handy dandy glass cutting tool... 

I cut and added a round piece of glass.  I wanted the table designed so you could see all the parts of the wooden piece....  

I ran a bead of silicone around to give a finished edge....  

And as my daughter reported to me...  

"It turned out super cool!" 

I guess I couldn't ask for a better endoresement than that.
